My Mother's Love

she listened, she listens.

she loved, she loves.

she holds me tightly when i need it the most, always.

she's here.

now.

for me; with me.

she's my mommy and i love her.

she kept me safe and sane tonight.

when nobody else listened and nobody else was there.

she makes me feel whole, happy, enthusiastic, optimistic.

when she's here.

when she's not i'm alone, all alone.

just myself, who's not yet finished healing.

she understands.

she'll come and stay for good.

thank you, mommy.

i love you.
